Grant County

United Way Success By 6 is the nation’s largest network of early childhood coalitions, focused on improving school readiness through community change. In more than 350 communities or states, Success By 6 (SB6) coalitions are changing the way things work so young children can come to school ready to succeed. Operating with support from local United Way organizations, SB6 coalitions are galvanizing business, government and non-profit leaders around early learning. For 16 years, SB6 coalitions have been raising awareness of the importance of early childhood development, improving access to services, advocating for public policies and overhauling systems – budgets, laws and supports – to improve young children’s lives.  In 2001, Success By 6 was established in Boone County, Kentucky to bring attention to the issue of kindergarten readiness.

United Way places its highest priority on working to ensure that children arrive at kindergarten prepared and expanded Success By 6 into Grant County in 2006.  This expansion effort directly supports the educational goals outlined in Vision 2015.  At Success By 6, we’re working with key stakeholders to identify gaps in services and strengthen others, to help children experience success in school and success in life.
